Looks like my sunroof casset is screwed

so went on dd today and found a sunroof casset so went and picked it up. 50 euro nothing wrong with that! then went over to valderrs (think i spelt that right) and got strut braces while i was up that fat.
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6da598b2.jpg
so got to work and got my old one out
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1795e441.jpg
was a long job be well worth it to have the sun roof working.
went and checked what battery was in the car to see if it needed to be changed soon or what and it turns out its a new battery in it
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psa208b335.jpg
so got to work and treated all external rubbers, door rubbers etc to keep them all good and got a bit carried away and cloned the bay a little bit while i was at it

so coilovers have arrived and should collect them monday or tuesday
was still idling bad so took the maf out and tried a different maf from another 323i and the car just died straight off. so went to take the borrowed maf out and found this
thanks for all the helps at the meet lads
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psbb1a0fa2.jpg

this is a temporary
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psfbde8f01.jpg
also one my c02 sensors arrived (only 1 is gone but decided probably be best to replace both) stupid DHL didn't deliver both together even tho tracking number has them both in there hands at the same time.
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psb7133f14.jpg
right so new break lines are in
co2 sensor waiting on second one to arrive. rang dhl as they have it over a week now and said it will be out without 48 hours with some lovely words from me and a lot of apologising from them
heres the coilovers, collected them yesterday. was going to put them in today but uncle managed to break a spring in his car so that was moved up the list
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psd709fc0a.jpg
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9a54fad6.jpg

Hoping my intake pipe and crank breather pipe be here this week from @super4 (thanks cab) and then she should be nct ready I hope!
-
got a weighted clubsport gear knob for it. really makes it change gears so much smoother with the short shift and feels so much better
sorry for dark picture http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps518a6ad2.jpg
so the nct were happy with everything but my ball joints on the front so i took the wheels off and had a look around myself and thought while I'm changing them i might as well do it right and change some other parts in there to so went out and got this today
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psd73d4022.jpgwell got a good bit done today not many pics but will get them some other time
front wishbone with new bushings/balljoints etc
track/tie rod ends
braided lines on front
pads and discs on front
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...psd1807e7c.jpg
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps006e0fd9.jpgso after about 1000+ miles the discs are still the same colour and look great behind the wheels imo
work been done since last update
rear arches rolled to get rid of that nasty lip that loves to catch dirt on these and re sealed of course.
10mm h&r hubcentric spacers and extended bolts on rear
going in monday to get the back arches and doors re sprayed and any dents taken out of the body work
fallout remover worked great and brought the wheels right up as well as removing a lot of iron from the body work.
